โIf you're scared right now, I get it. In 2023, that was me. I remember a safety plan on my phone like it was yesterday. This morning I sang in the car. It's slow, but it does come back. You've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it.โ
โI was in the same place nearly four years ago. It was telling my sister was the hardest thing and I couldn't see past it. I've started painting again.โ
โIf you're just starting with these thoughts, I won't say it gets easy. It doesn't. But telling someone, even one person, can take some weight off. For me it was my sister. I also keep a list of small things: my dog, a sunset, a cup of tea. When it's bad, I pick one and do it. That's all I've got. And if you can, see a therapist. Mine knows what to do when I don't.โ
โA note for the next person. Eighteen months ago I was exactly where you are. The worst part: my therapist knows. I got a new job this spring. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. One day at a time.โ
